Kickoff/Punt returns for TD by M

Seems like we haven't had a dynamic Kick/Punt return specialist since Steve Breaston. I believe our last KR for TD was Stonum in [EDIT: 2009]. When i think about the elite/good teams of recent years, they always seemed to have great returners.

LSU- Mathieu, Peterson, Holliday

Bama- Maze, Menzie, some other little cornerback

Georgia- Boykins

TCU- Kerley

KSU- Banks, Sproles

I wanted to know where we rank in terms of return TD's compared to other top teams, and also wondering if this is from lack of talent, or focus on ST

I like Gallon. When he gets the ball in space he has the ability to make alot of people miss. I do think that the prevelance of the spread punt limits big returns. I'd actually be interested to see if there has been a major down turn in punt return yardage over the last few years since the spread punt has caught fire.

Who was coaching the return teams from 1990-93? Even though that's the era of Michigan football in which I became a fan (too young before that), I had forgotten just how many returns for TDs they had in that year. Some of that was Howard, Alexander, and Wheatley being total beasts, but not all. The blocking schemes are also fantastic. I have no idea if they would still work today, but the platoon of blockers Desmond has on all of his returns are unbelievable -- though I assume the anti-wedge rules might rule out such things today.
